  • Filling

    • 1 (8-ounce) can almond paste
    • 1 (8-ounce) container mascarpone cheese
    • 🧂 ½ cup white sugar
    • 🥚 1 large egg (separated)

  • Topping

    • 🌰 2 ¼ ounces sliced almonds
    • 🧂 1 tablespoon white sugar

  • Glaze

    • 🧂 ½ cup confectioners' sugar

STEPS

1

Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a 9x13-inch baking pan with parchment paper.

2

Unroll 1 tube of crescent roll dough and spread it into the bottom of the prepared pan. Seal any seams.

3

Roll the almond paste to the size of the dough layer in the pan and trim if necessary. Set aside.

4

In a bowl, beat mascarpone cheese, ½ cup sugar, and the egg yolk until smooth. Spread this mixture over the crescent dough in the pan.

5

Place the almond paste layer on top of the mascarpone mixture.

6

Unroll the second tube of crescent dough, cover the almond paste layer, and ensure the seams are sealed.

7

Beat the egg white and brush it over the top layer of dough. Sprinkle sliced almonds and 1 tablespoon of sugar on top.

8

Bake in the preheated oven until golden brown, about 25 to 30 minutes. Let it cool completely.

9

Mix confectioners' sugar with 2 tablespoons of water to create a glaze, then drizzle over the cooled Danish.
